DESCRIPTION:With global developments and the growing significance of relig
 ion in public debates\, academic interest in religions too has grown\, esp
 ecially in religious contacts. While there is a long tradition of studying
  specific interactions\, in particular among the so-called Abrahamic relig
 ions\, this orientation usually betrays a Western perspective. Recent scho
 larship has developed a more global perspective paying increasing attentio
 n to other religious contacts such as between Muslims and Buddhists. Along
 side research on the ground\, scholars are developing theoretical framewor
 ks for studying these contacts. How do we theorize religion? How can we as
 sess the significance of religious identity when members of different comm
 unities meet? What defines a contact between individuals\, communities\, t
 raditions\, as a contact of religions? What are the effects of contact for
  the development and expansion of religious traditions?\nflyer
